About John Jacobson

Ever since a good friend brought him a copy of Johanna Lindsey's Gentle Rogue, he has been hooked on the romance genre. Though he primarily reads in young-adult, he loves to spend time with paranormal, historical, and contemporary adult titles in-between books. Now, he finds himself juggling book reviews, school band, writing, and finding time to add to his TBR pile.

REVIEW: Things I Know About Love by Kate le Vann

Dear Ms. le Vann, If not for the cover, I do not think I would have tried this book.   The premise sounded cute at best, but nothing that I would fight to read, and the short length was a turn-off for me as a reader.   But, because the cover instantly reminded me of the best(…)

Review:  Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith

Review: Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith

Dear Ms. Smith, There’s a lot to be said of having a vampire novel out on the market today. With Twilight’s soaring popularity, it’s only natural publishers try and cash in on it.

Review:  Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone

Review: Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone

Dear Ms. Featherstone, Your book is officially my first erotic historical romance, and I was very pleased with the resulting read.   While the thought of an erotic romance made me apprehensive, you managed to give me a good story that really kept well, despite the sex scenes. Jane Rankin works as a nurse in a(…)

Review: Something like Fate by Susane Colasanti

Dear Ms. Colasanti, You have become a big name in the YA fiction world.   I have heard many, many people tell me how great your romances are.   I’ve also   heard tales of your mediocrity.   I came into this book expecting to feel some kind of varied emotions.   The cover also provided me with some expectations.  (…)

Dear Miss Harrison, About one year ago, I had the pleasure of first discovering your novel, The Princess and the Hound, through my amazing school library. Now, a year later, the ARC of The Princess and the Snowbird is happily coming to me through the mail, and in preparation, I have decided to reread this(…)
